Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 red apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil until shimmering.
- Carefully place the pork chops in the hot skillet without overcrowding. Sear for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
- While the chops are cooking, combine sliced apples and shredded cabbage in a bowl.
- Add apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste; toss well.
- In the same skillet used for the pork chops, toss the apple-cabbage mixture over low heat just until warmed through (about 2 minutes).
